Tuberculosis kills thousands of people every year. My submission would cut down the six month long treatment time considerably. Briefly, adding oral doses of vitamins D3; Calcium Ascorbate. Magnesium Ascorbate and Baking Soda or Sodium Bicarbonate would significantly improve recovery time by boosting the patient's immune system. Also, by making the patient's blood slightly Alkaline,
A cell phone size handheld device that creates a freezing temperature on an aluminum disc, which can be used as an Ice Cube, wherever, whenever. Works on 4 AA size batteries which are re-chargeable. Non-rechargeable alkaline batteries can also be used. It is a permanent device that can be used repeatedly, thousands of times.
The Universal Wheelchair Seating Transfer System (UWSTS) introduces a solution to the problems wheelchair users face daily, difficult transfers and exclusion in many activities. Electric wheelchair users frequently have to make transfers to use different devices; often transfers are difficult and dangerous. A wheelchair user doesn’t have to leave the seat that was designed for them,
Germgard Lighting has developed and tested a small ultraviolet light dispenser, specifically designed for instantly and safely disinfecting bare and gloved hands. It achieves -6log10 inactivation in less than 3 seconds of all relevant pathogens, including antibiotic resistant bacteria such as MRSA, tough-to-kill Clostridium difficile spores, and infectious virus such as norovirus.
In contrast,
The V2 Renal Denervation System™ is a paradigm shift in the treatment of high blood pressure. It performs a fast, one-time procedure called Renal Denervation (RD), clinically shown to alleviate hypertension. Used in hospital catheterization labs, it deactivates nerves at the base of the renal artery with a short pulse of radiofrequency energy,
Very high magnetic fields (>1 Tesla) are needed to operate Magnetic Resonance Scanners. The equipment (superconductors coils or rare earth permanent magnets) which generates such fields are one of the reasons for the high cost of the scanners.
There are many efforts to use technology to provide navigational aid to the visually impaired. The technologies available today, including the global positioning system (GPS) and powerful mobile devices, have enabled a range of solutions. Unfortunately, many of these solutions fall short of ideal.
